Hey Chris, I've been a long-time fan of your podcast, and I think it would be incredibly insightful and important if you could consider inviting Sashi Tharoor to your channel. With the current state of affairs in India and the growing concerns about rising authoritarianism, there's a pressing need for informed discussions. Mr. Tharoor's expertise and eloquence could shed light on this issue, and discussing the lack of open dialogue around it could be a significant step towards addressing the problem. Please consider this request; it's crucial that we have these conversations. Thanks!

[@CMA418]

IMO: Part of the problem, which goes almost completely unaddressed, is our cavalier use words. Even the title of this video falls short of being precise in its verbiage. The smartest people on the planet still very often don’t think before speaking, or titling in this case. Hyperbole and sarcasm have become the norm even in “civilized” discourse. These are, however, dishonest forms expression. And they are seductively pernicious. “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” - Dumbledore

People used to sacrifice their lives for the benefit of their children. Now they sacrifice their children's lives for their own benefit. Eric is 100% correct.

[@Steve-sg3uz]

I disagree. I think the state. with things like SS, was a major factor. Then we have Liberalism and Feminism attacking the family unit. Those two ideologies are selfish.

[@DomenicT]

He nailed it when he talked about the fact that corporations have pushed consumerism and individualism to such extremes that people don’t care about institutions and don’t trust them, so they have no reason to invest in society at any level, thus you get things like deteriorating social cohesion. No one cares about anyone else really. So people don’t see a reason to contribute to society by having children for example. We have things like woke idealogies being pushed because they fan the flames of unrest. Divide and conquer is the oldest play in the playbook and it’s being played out at a level that’s unprecedented. No one wants to know the truth and then people buy this bullshit that “everyone’s truth is true.” No, truth exists and it’s not debatable. Something either is or isn’t true. That’s called consensus reality. We’ve lost all sense of this so we have no consensus reality anymore. Therefore people can’t even agree on what the problems are anymore and that is a BIG problem. We used to debate solutions not problems. Everyone agreed on the problems for the most part. They only disagreed on the prioritization of the problems and how to best solve them. Without consensus reality there is zero chance finding reasonable solutions. One of the biggest examples is the lying about US elections. Elections are NOT a problem in the US. They just didn’t go one guy’s way and he had the power to bulkshit half the population. So now many US states are attempting to “fix” elections. Give me a f’n break.

[@Steve-sg3uz]

@@DomenicT I disagree. The logical push for consumerism is because our debt based currency destroys savings. Money no longer increases in value. So you have to spend it before it can no longer buy you what it did yesterday.

I’m a high school dropout hair dresser listening to two brilliant humans. I don’t understand all, but enough. To me, this is the beauty of the internet, sitting in on a conversation I would never have been exposed to. Thank you both. I try to watch Eric and Brent when possible. As a mom of 5 teenagers, the end part about men, I’d like to share, don’t underestimate how many parents ARE getting it right. JP is my hero and I send his clips to my kids (particularly my 3 boys 13-19). When Eric talked about parents not loving their kids and putting them first, that’s what makes the broken adults today. I think it’s our duty to call out parents (our friends/peers) when they are not doing right by their children, and I think you know what I mean.

[@kirstinstrand6292]

I am not a high school drop out but I spent my life as a working stiff and I totally get your point. I was thinking the same thing that here I am, eating my breakfast and listening to a conversation between to brilliant men and that, in itself, is just amazing. The fact that I understand even a small part of it is equally amazing.

[@_pawter]

Hey Steph, I spent two thirds of my life being educated or doin it to others and I'm of the same mind as you as regards the value of this conversation. When I was pretending to be a family man, like you I tried expose my stepdaughter to music or ideas which were stretch-goals. She often surprised me with her interpretations. You sound like a fine person, if I had any hair left I'd like to have it done by a grounded, benevolent person like you. ps. my sister was a high school dropout. When both her kids had finished uni she gave it a try, and then took up a hard-core career as a social-worker. Don't put yourself down on that score, though I know many morons will. I used to produce them: I know what their opinions are worth.

Humans are attracted to beauty and beauty is seen in symmetry. Humanity in general is attracted to beauty because we are beings of nature.

We are creatures of observation so when we gaze at our screens and view artificially planted subjective beauty content.

Providing a future for our children has always been our highest priority through all hardships. Sixty-four years ago, when my parents fled communism and sought political asylum in the United States, we struggled to understand the cultural expectation here that young people should leave home and become self-sufficient as soon as they turned 18. No matter how old you were, you're always a son or daughter to my family. Many built apartments for their parents in their homes, like in Miami and Hialeah, Florida, even against city codes.

Recently, somebody asked me, if I could go back and do it again was there an instrument I would learn? Without a second thought, I said, "Cello. If I could play Bach's cello sonatas my life would be complete."

I just stumbled across this video without knowing anything about either Chris Williamson or Eric Weinstein, and I cannot tell you how incredible it was to listen to two individuals having a rational, intelligent conversation about so many topics without the very common need to make sure that their views and opinions were the only right one! I was very impressed by the common effort that both of you made to make sure that you really did understand what the other was saying. It was like a breathe of fresh air! I especially liked the portion where you both examined the uncertainty of knowing that seems to pervade pretty well any important topic right now, and suggestions of how to deal with it. For some time now I have felt so torn apart because of how difficult or even impossible it seems to come to a clear and factual conclusion on almost anything these days, and it frustrates and angers me so much! Especially because a large amount of these topics are just SO FRIGGIN' IMPORTANT! . . . . and it often results in my feeling very impotent and powerless, with no clear place to stand. I HATE IT! . . . . oh, and I have to thank you for introducing me to the Sagrada Familia! Wow! I have never heard of this building before, and immediately had to google it.

People have been trying to follow him for years trying to figure out what it is exactly that he says he figured out, or discovered, or calculated and most people still have no idea what on earth he is talking about. Other academic scientists keep asking him to at least produce one research paper but Eric Weinstein gives various childish excuses why he doesn't. I think most people will soon find out that he is some sort of professional scam artist, a charlatan, or maybe he really believes he "knows something" and is delusional. Perhaps he has some sort of delusions of grandeur, or a "suppressed genius" complex. I don't know.

I agree , not only physics but most academia has been filled with naval gazing idiots and plants who will work for govt agendas. We can even get people to stop using organo-phosphates never mind nuclear weapons. Organo phosphates are a good example of wanting more from nature and consequently destroying everything. Never mind inimaginable weapons we have. I would like to know why people are not represented as they should be at UN etc etc where did the newer proliferation of nuclear weapons come from what laws were amended who bribed and lobbied, who's brainchild ..the same for chemical and biological...

You look at what they did to Trump just because he was an outsider who had gained power and posed a threat to their entrenched good 'ol boys club.

[@Pseudothink]

Weinstein just comes across to me like a person completely full of himself who enjoys saying provocative but purposefully vague things so he can smugly wait to be asked to explain himself. He then pretends to starts to explain, but switches gears or goes on a tangent, never to return. You can hear the self-satisfaction dripping off his tone of voice almost the entire time. This whole interview seemed like stream-of-consciousness, manipulative bullshit. A conspiracy theorists' wet dream, in that it alludes to a long list of provocative, conspiracy theory subjects which can be interpreted however one wants. At the same time, utterly nothing of material consequence is said or explained, nor any meaningful evidence or falsifiable statements actually given. Completely bizarre.

The family is weak in America and elsewhere among the collage educated career driven. It’s quite strong among those in the trades and on farms. A plumber isn’t going to travel half way around the world looking for opportunities. A plumber is most likely going to stay local, visit with him family regularly, leave his kids with grandma and grandpa and so on. He won’t have to leave his kids with strangers at a day care and so on. What has changed since the pandemic is that many career driven folks can work from anywhere and be close to family. This simple reorientation to family has had something to do with the real insurgence of traditional values, faith and family. This was a factory in Trump’s victory and it will be an ever growing factor in the years to come. Sending ones kids across the country or world for an education that indoctrinated them away from family and faith will be a huge blow to the neo-Marxists.

Their product is 496 and equal to four generations of Time's Arrow, each branching off at right angles to its parent and coming full circle in one wave cycle within four generations.

no he's not. he's either a willful "idiot" (& thus a very sketchy person) or an unwitting one. i lean towards the former. especially since it is well known that jeffrey epstein was indeed an astute money man. he was part of one of the biggest ponzi schemes in US history prior to b.madoff. whitney webb has covered this extensively. it is no secret. so eric's insistence, in interview after interview, that he doesnt believe epstein played any financial role for these luminaries except as some vague "construct" is pretty damning. i mean, epstein was a construct, for sure. & later on, was a sexual trafficker & blackmailer. but again, it's not a secret that he was of great value as a money-mover/launderer.

One of the most critical and difficult moments I have ever experienced in my life was when I began to realize how much of what I thought I knew or believed to be the truth was total BS; and once you rip the blinders off, you can’t unsee what you’ve seen; you can’t forget what you’ve learned; you can’t go back to that “ignorance is bliss” state of mind. And as much as I would rather know the truth, there are times when I still find myself feeling like I’m in the Matrix, and questioning my own ability to know what is real and what is BS. At 58 years old, this is a very unsettling feeling.

Take another Molochian trap. We're creating a totalitarian society as a result of the creep of safetyism. The moment anyone tries to roll back, and a crime happens as a result, the press gang up on the person resisting the inexorable creep further into a totalitarian society. There is no attainable answer to this predicament. Why would one presume that problems have solutions within their own frames? A priori, there is no reason to suspect that this should be the case. If a system is critically flawed, detch from it, as much as possible. Pay unto Rome, but no more. If enough people create a parallel society then it emerges as the working option as the flawed system fails.

The 8% isn't that "on pair" with what the problem is, and the media is making it difficult to create consensus. Everyone watching this already know the problems, and I do not think there is much new people watching this. So yeah it is sort of not helpful, but what is? Anyhow: The american founding fathers came from a dystopian world and built a "knowledge" of how it ought to be. There is profound wisdom that is the basis for the US constitution, some of it comes from the bible, others from various philosophic text that had been built on other philosophic text. The institutions cannot be fixed until this knowledge is rebuilt in the head, distributed and agreed upon by a substantially part of the population. Until then it is about personal survival.

[@AntonShields]

I watched this podcast three times in its entirety, and I really enjoyed it. The reason I enjoy it is that I appreciate meaningful conversations, especially face-to-face. In today’s world, it’s harder for me to engage in conversations that open up and challenge perspectives and span new ideas. I believe the phenomenon affecting young men, leading them to adopt more sedentary lifestyles with less risk-taking, isn’t solely due to video games, drugs, or porn. Chris, I think you’re an awesome person; I haven’t met you in real life, but you seem genuine. When I provide this feedback, I’m not trying to be dismissive or contrarian. I enjoy Jordan Peterson’s work because he also addresses the lack of purpose in young men, and one of the main reasons for this is the reduced number of fathers in homes, which leads to a lack of direction. While mothers provide excellent nurture, it’s much more challenging for them to instill a sense of purpose on their own. Porn, drugs, and video games are forms of escape, and while they aren’t the solutions to many issues young men face, they aren’t the root cause of their sedentary lifestyles or reluctance to take risks. Focusing only on these issues, in my opinion, is a disservice and reflects a lack of introspection. Just look at the last 50 years. Haven’t you noticed a change in family dynamics with fewer fathers in households? Have you studied the corporate narrative and business model sold to women in the late 60s and early 70s, promoting the idea that they don’t need men and can live independently? This campaign was designed to encourage women to buy more products, and it worked remarkably well. It also altered family structures, leading some mothers to believe they weren’t living their best lives. Many thought that happiness could only come from separation and the chance for real love. I agree with you about the red pill and its problematic messaging, but it’s important to recognize that men didn’t have a platform to talk about their experiences. The red pill narrative today is very different from what it used to be. With fewer fathers in the home, young men cling to more destructive senses of purpose and struggle to connect with women. In the 90s, many men were sold on the idea of romance and being a best friend to women, while women were sold the narrative of independence. These competing narratives led to significant misunderstandings. Nowadays, we refer to that way of being romantic as "simping," but it reflects what many men learned from their mothers in the absence of fathers. It’s important to note that it wasn’t always the case that men were bad or irresponsible; many simply fell victim to a narrative that doesn’t hold true for all. I began collecting data because I studied behavior and psychology. I noticed that in the late 90s and early 2000s, both men and women were not only contemplating suicide but also attempting it, with some tragically succeeding. I try to keep my analysis simple at first before moving on to larger concepts. Family households require a dynamic that is nurturing, structured, and disciplined. That structure brings discipline, which helps children-both boys and girls-create templates for better decision-making and outcomes. The campaign promoting single mothers and fathers has largely failed, and the children are paying the price. I have witnessed this throughout my life as a Generation X man, and it is even more apparent in the black community, of which I am a part. The red pill didn’t help me attract women, but it did help me understand that I wasn’t alone in my struggles. Of course, I have worked on myself to become a better man, but what I learned from the red pill is that women have also changed significantly, and that’s a hard topic for many men to discuss. I don’t hear you addressing this, Chris. You often highlight the shortcomings of men today, which I agree with, but if you don’t have the courage to discuss how women have been misled and now operate in a way that is counterintuitive to relationships, then you may be being disingenuous or naive. If you want to understand why men seem to have less purpose, consider the caliber of women today and reflect on that question again. Women have also been negatively impacted by growing up with only mothers or fathers. Yet, I don’t hear you discussing this issue, and your silence allows women to feel that they don’t need to change anything. I acknowledge that men need to guide women, just like fathers do for their daughters, but I realize this isn’t your primary focus. In conclusion, thank you for the podcast and thank you for all the amazing talks you give Eric I listen to all of them. I would love to talk with both of you guys one day when I start my podcast hopefully that will become a reality. Take care.
